The Constipation and Milk Connection Fiber does indeed help the body to maintain regularity by adding bulk and softening the stool. But constipation and milk are not related because of the fiber content of milk. While this would explain a hardened stool and difficulty with bowel movements, it is not the reason for constipation and milk being linked.
